Don’t mean to sound childish here but...........if Christians work to help amputees get and use artificial limbs so that they can walk, isn’t that somehow, in some way the same thing as God restoring the ability to walk to the amputee, except that he’s working indirectly through those who love Him?

If it is, then how many people have the Atheists helped to walk again?

It is the same as providing food, clothing, shelter.

As an act based on our natural abilties or abundance, it is an act that’s open to many.

What is unique about such love is the Christian Church’s 2000 year history of the same.

Many credit the idea of hospitals to the Christian Church.
